Sunrise of Huntington

License and inspection record

Is Sunrise of Huntington licensed by New York State?

Yes. Sunrise of Huntington holds New York State Department of Health operating certificate 700-F-959 as an Adult Home in Huntington Station, with 130 certified beds in the 2026 Q2 state report, and has been licensed since October 16, 2020 (about 6 years).

On top of that base license it carries Assisted Living Residence licensure for 130 beds, 130 of them Enhanced (EALR) and 62 Special Needs (SNALR) dementia beds. Those certifications are what make it “assisted living” in New York's legal sense, not just in its marketing.

What does Sunrise of Huntington's NYSDOH inspection record show?

Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2026, NYSDOH conducted 7 inspections at Sunrise of Huntington and cited 9 violations; 4 inspections found none. The most recent report on file was a complaint survey issued November 17, 2025.

Of those visits, 2 were routine relicensure surveys and 5 were complaint investigations. A complaint survey does not mean a complaint was upheld — many close with no citation.

The regulation areas cited most often were resident services, food service, personnel. Citations in these areas are common across Long Island adult care facilities; what matters is whether they repeat and whether the plan of correction was approved.

Enforcement: none reported for Sunrise of Huntington in this period.

Does Sunrise of Huntington offer memory care (SNALR) in Huntington Station?

Yes. Sunrise of Huntington is certified as a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence for 62 of its 130 beds, which is New York's certification for dementia care.

That is 48% of the building. Ask whether the SNALR neighborhood is a separate secured floor or wing, how many SNALR beds are open now, and what happens if a resident's needs exceed what SNALR covers.

Can a resident age in place at Sunrise of Huntington?

Partly. Sunrise of Huntington holds Enhanced Assisted Living Residence certification for 130 beds, which lets a resident stay when they need help walking, transferring or managing a chronic condition that would otherwise force a move to a nursing home.

Medicaid: the state report shows no ALP beds here, so Sunrise of Huntington is private pay. Families who expect to need Medicaid should read our Medicaid and assisted living guide before moving in.

Where is Sunrise of Huntington, and what is nearby in Huntington Station?

Sunrise of Huntington is at 300 W Hills Rd in Huntington Station, Suffolk County.

0 other licensed adult care facilities sit within five miles, so families here can usually compare several state-licensed options without widening the search.

Huntington Hospital (Northwell) sits in the hub itself, and the LIRR Port Jefferson Branch gives car-free access for visiting family.

What does assisted living at Sunrise of Huntington cost?

No state record publishes this community's prices, so we do not either. The CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey puts New York's statewide median for a private one-bedroom in assisted living at $7,110 a month.

Long Island prices generally run above that state median. What moves the monthly bill at a specific community is the care level: EALR and SNALR care usually costs more than base assisted living, and this community holds both. Ask for the full fee schedule in writing, including level-of-care charges and what triggers an increase. Our cost guide walks through the numbers.

Who operates Sunrise of Huntington?

NYSDOH lists GWC-West Hills, Inc. as the operator of record (business corporation), licensed since October 16, 2020.

9 other licensed communities on Long Island carry the Sunrise name (4 in Nassau, 5 in Suffolk). Each holds its own operating certificate and its own inspection record, so a strong record at one does not carry over to another. Nearest: .

In the 2026 Q2 quarterly report the community counted 104 residents at quarter's end against 130 certified beds (about 80% full). A community near capacity may have a waitlist for SNALR or ALP beds even when assisted living rooms are open; ask.

Licensed only about 6 years ago, this is one of Long Island's newer buildings, so its inspection history is short; weigh the most recent surveys more heavily.

How does Sunrise of Huntington's record compare with other Long Island assisted living?

By size, Sunrise of Huntington ranks 35 of 61 ALR-licensed communities on Long Island. It was cited 6.9 violations per 100 certified beds over the four-year window, against a Long Island ALR median of 3.3.

That is above the regional median. A per-bed rate is a rough yardstick, not a grade: one complaint-heavy year can move it, and NYSDOH does not rank facilities. Read the dated reports above before drawing conclusions.

Its 62 SNALR beds compare with a median of 38 among the 53 Long Island communities certified for dementia care.
